A pickled, mildly stemmy wine with lean, stingy flavors of herbal berry fruit. Has a lot of clack, smack and acidic bite and not much richness, roundness and fullness of flavor. O.K. but still deficient as Argentinean Malbec goes.——M.S.(11/1/2010)—— 82

Concentrated black-grape and dark-berry aromas are almost jammy, while the palate is soft but generous, with rich plum and blackberry flavors. This is in the lush and dark category, with finishing notes of chocolate and fig paste. Just balanced enough to not seem heavy.——M.S.(11/1/2009)—— 87
